The journey begins in the traditional spa town of Bad Gleichenberg, renowned for its elegant spa architecture, extensive network of hiking trails, and the modern Spa House, also known as the "Therme der Ruhe" ("Spa of Tranquillity").

The gentle hills and fertile volcanic soils create ideal conditions for both agriculture and viticulture, shaping a countryside that is as scenic as it is productive. The stage concludes in the renowned wine-growing village of Klöch, famous for its highly aromatic Traminer wines. Klöch also lends its name to the Klöcher Wine Route, one of the eight wine routes in Steiermark, which showcases the unique wine culture, culinary traditions, and hospitality of this distinctive corner of Austria. Combining wellness, nature, and wine culture, this stage offers a perfect introduction to one of the most characterful wine regions in Steiermark.
